Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.
I can understand your concern.

From the description provided by you it is very difficult to comment what it could be without a physical examination. But since your baby is fussy with excessive screaming and vomiting, I suggest you should consult your paediatrician once and get your baby checked up once.

Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
